Self portrait with dogs and hat.
Nearly daily sketches and other work by Heather Goff
Self portrait with dogs and hat.
I came down with a 24 hour stomach flu Monday night which laid me low for closer to 36 hours. Slept through last night’s drawing time.
Yesterday, I treated myself to an all day workshop on collage taught by Alexandra Sheldon at her studio in Cambridge, MA. http://alexandrasheldon.com/index.php?page=bio&display=311
It was a very fun class and taught me some basic techniques used in making a collage. After transferring and painting on papers to use in our collages, she had us work on multiple 4 x 4 inch pieces of heavier stock. It was refreshing to work non-digitally and completely abstractly, without thought to anything except texture, color and pattern.
She encouraged us to put our finished pieces in to a blank book or journal, one square per page.
At some point I hope to combine my digitally drawings with collage techniques.
It was a good day for a lap dog.
I printed out the image, cut it up and drew on it to create a collage of sorts.

When I walk on wooded trails, I often find myself looking down for long stretches, to see where to place my feet. It is like standing on a bridge, watching a brook flow underneath – the ground passing beneath me.
